"maybe not" has been such a powerful statement for me. I've made leaps and bunds in progress in the past but am currently in the slumps. Your video helped me a lot in getting me back into a recovery mindset. Thank you.

This resonates with me so much this week. Just when I thought I had the usual themes under control, obsessive thoughts about real events specifically old conversations have been trying to hook me in and the OCD was so loud and all consuming a few days ago. I find these videos so helpful, thank you Kirsty xx

You’re so welcome, real event OCD can be a tricky one but just know how much OCD can twist these into false memories. This is something I experienced recently I had to gently remind myself I would know if this was something that actually happened & it’s just OCD up to it’s usual tricks. It’s difficult at first to pull away from these intrusive thoughts & not get involved but with practice it’s possible then they will quiet down. You’ve got this! 😊❤️🙌 Xx

Hi Kirsty, another brilliant video thank you. I really really struggle just letting the thoughts be there. The urge to ruminate and Google to find certainty and answers are so powerful. When I'm in the depths of an episode I feel so so fearful of life and that everything is going to come crashing down. I find for me that the passage of time helps but getting there can be very painful xxx

Hi thanks for watching, I completely resonate with this post. OCD can feel really loud at times & the intensity of it some days can feel so overwhelming. Resisting those rituals like rumination & looking for evidence/answers can feel challenging, sticking with that icky uncomfortable anxious feeling really is key in sending that message to our brain/OCD that it is not in control. It’s gonna feel repetitive at first but in time you will notice the frequency of the intrusive thoughts decreasing & a tolerance to the icky feelings associated. We’re taking our power back from OCD, letting the thoughts be there does get easier with practice believe me! You can do this 🙌 much love, Kirsty. 😊❤️ Xx

Thank you for your reply Kirsty, it really helps me to know that you understand exactly what I'm going through! I'm going to really try to ride the thoughts. Maybe starting with the less intense episodes first where I feel I'd be better able to sit with the thoughts xxx

I’ve started using cbd oil drops for ocd anxiety and insomnia, but I’m even feeling anxious about that because it comes from a cannabis plant and growing up you are taught that it’s bad, even though this is legal because they take out the part that gets you high. Im feeling anxious about taking it, lots of what ifs such as what if it damages me in some way negatively

Hey, I’ve never tried this but did consider it at one time. I understand why you would feel that way about it but rest assured it is very different & studies show how it can really help these issues. I’d me interested to hear how you find it, I hope it gives you some relief! 🤞

Another great message here from you Kirsty.... i wish i'd known about your videos a long time ago as i feel i would have recovered quicker with your help. It's just good to listen to someone who has been through this awful doubting disease and you seem to be recovered, i'm sure you have good days and bad days or are you able to say all days are good now that OCD doesn't run your life for you?

@stuckinthemudofficial Ай бұрын

Ahhh that’s so kind of you to say. Yes I do get my bad days now & again, that is usually because I’ve been ruminating & have felt tired so haven’t resisted the urge to get involved with it. I try to just gently remind myself that this is not the best way of dealing with intrusive unwanted thoughts & these days I can get back on track much quicker. That being said since entering perimenopause I did notice an increase in intrusive thoughts & anxiety, it somehow feels a little harder to let go sometimes. I’ve heard OCD & anxiety can worsen at this time of life but after a rocky start I feel I’m dealing with things better now overall. 😊 Xx

@@stuckinthemudofficial You're right, perimenopause and indeed menopause can increase anxiety for sure... but you already have the skills to deal with it so i hope you sail through it easily. I can recommend the marena coil io help ease symptoms. x
